Three people were killed and three people were wounded when a gunman opened fire in Paris.
The Associated Press reported that the suspect, identified as a 69-year-old man, was also wounded and arrested. The alleged shooter is being treated for his injuries.
Update 1:40 p.m. EST Dec. 23: One of the victims initially listed as wounded has died, bringing the death toll to three in Friday’s deadly shooting.
Original report: Two of the four people who were wounded were listed in critical condition, the AP reported. The two others are seriously injured, BBC News reported.
Police said the shooting targeted a Kurdish cultural center, but despite the location of the incident, the mayor of the 10th arrondissement — which is one of 17 defined areas of the city — said the “real motivation” is unclear.
BBC News reported that the alleged shooter is a French national who was investigated for two attempted killings.
The area was busy as people prepare for the holidays and a metro station, along with several restaurants, shops and the cultural center were all closed as police investigated, BBC News reported.
